More Chinese friends on the way

I wait patiently with my friend Molly for her to bring home her daughter from China.  She is at the point of just over 30 "log-in dates" from her date - that could mean a referral this summer or it could mean many months - just no way to know.  She's been waiting for nearly 5 years so keep her in your prayers!  On a happier note, I just found out that a family from church is in the process of adopting a boy from China.  They don't have a referral yet but since they are willing to accept an older child and a boy, they may get a referral fairly quickly.  I'm just always so excited to hear of families opening their home to orphans - know what an amazing blessing it is for both the parents and the child, I want everyone to know the joy I have experienced!!  I recently saw a video from Love Without Boundries on adopting boys - hmmm, maybe Charis needs a brother??

Mr. Moon

Charis loves the moon and since we've had practically non-stop rain for a couple of weeks, he's been hiding behing the clouds for a while.  Tonight on the way home from Bible class Charis asked where the moon was.  When I told her it must be hiding behind the clouds again, she said "Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon, won't you please come out?? It's me, Charis, in the car!"  What a sweetie!!
